In Celebration of

Michael Angus McMorran, CA

July 25, 1941 -  May 21, 2022

On Saturday, May 21, 2022, Michael Angus McMorran died peacefully surrounded by his family. Michael leaves behind his loving wife, Louisa, his beloved daughters, Deborah (Serge Canuel), Meredith (Shawn Brooks) and Jennifer (Derek Boshouwers), grandchildren, Shanelle (Sébastien Aubin), Stella, Xavier and Clara, and great-grandchildren, Mathéo, Dannick and Loïc. Michael will also be missed by his sister-in-law, Carol, and brother-in-law, Donnie. He was predeceased by his sister, Margie. Michael was born in Montreal and raised in Ottawa, spending his summers on Dorval Island. He studied dentistry at McGill University and was an active member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Dentistry wasn’t for him so he turned to accounting and earned his CA from Sir George Williams University. Michael later attended Harvard Business School’s Executive Program in 1984. He began his career as an accountant and soon thereafter, joined the tax department of Alcan Aluminium, ultimately serving as Chief Tax Officer until his retirement in 2001. Thanks to his remarkable business acumen and ability to handle Alcan’s affairs with aplomb, Michael earned the lifelong respect of colleagues far and wide. Not one to be all work and no play, Michael hit the golf course every chance he got. In the 1970s and 1980s, memories were made sailing the Thousand Islands and, from the 1990s until just a few years ago, Michael and Louisa cruised the world together. The family wishes to thank Saint-Lazare’s ambulance technicians, CLSC caregivers from Vaudreuil and the staff at l’Hôpital du Suroît. A small service and reception will take place at Belvedere Funeral Complex, 22025 Ave. Transcanadienne, Senneville, on Sunday, May 29, at 11 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.

We will miss you Mike…we had such fun with you and Louisa in Florida. We remember when you guys and Barney and Sue came and stayed with us in Bath. All of you got a kick out of my little crafty home! Your death was such a shock to us. My Mike mentioned the better part of a week ago that he hadn’t heard from you in awhile and that he would send an email to catch up! We regret not coming for a visit to your lovely home, as always it’s a matter of the next time we come to Montreal and then Covid made it impossible to make that visit a reality. Louisa, please accept our sincere sorrow and may you and your family find comfort with those who loved Mike and can be with you during this time. Love Jane and Mike Rodgers

A warm dear of mine who lived with me in the phi Delt house on University Street for several years in the late 50s and early 60s.
Later we all admired is extremely responsible and generous volunteer work in organizing the affairs of the fraternity in the 70s and 80s when the chapter building burned down and he had to organize all of the attendant details to keep the fraternity afloat and to manage the financial consequences of a catastrophe.
All done through his sense of responsibility in the goodness of his heart.
Great human being
